Rubicon Project Privacy Dashboard and Opt-Out

Last Updated: September 29, 2016

Our Privacy Dashboard is designed to help you in understand how we collect and use information about you and your device when using our website and when you use the websites or mobile apps of customers using our advertising technology.

Only 22% of Internet Users regularly review privacy policies for the sites they visit. That is why this Dashboard does not look like other privacy policies you may have seen. Unlike the average privacy policy which is approximately 2,500 words, the Rubicon Project offers this simple summary.

Like any summary, however, the Privacy Dashboard is not an exhaustive description of our privacy practices—you can find more detailed explanations of our privacy practices below.

Data We Collect

When using our website, we collect personal information that you voluntarily provide via email or via registration for certain services, market reports, or newsletters. Additionally, while you use our website, we may collect general information about how our website is used.

Additionally, our customers, who include a number of premium website and mobile application publishers, use Rubicon Project’s advertising technology to help them provide their users with advertising that may be relevant to their interests. When you visit a website or use a mobile application that uses our advertising technology, we also collect certain information about your device. Some of this information, including for example your IP addresses and certain unique device identifiers, may identify a particular computer or device, and may be considered “personal data” in some jurisdictions in the European Union and elsewhere, but this data does not contain any “real world” identifiers such as your name, address, or contact details.

How We Use The Information We Collect

Rubicon Project uses the information that we collect to provide you with services that you have requested, and to enable our customers to deliver advertisements that we or they believe will be of most interest to you, as well as to prepare aggregate reports that summarize activity and performance.

Data Sharing

Rubicon Project shares data with third parties for a variety of reasons, including our third-party advertiser customers, so that they can deliver targeted advertisements to you.

Changes

We may change our privacy policies from time to time in order to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will give you notice of any material changes by posting the revised privacy policy on this website and, where appropriate, by other means.
